..Within this issue, we have a collage of overlapping, complementary, yet sometimes contradictory accounts of what happened during the breathtakingly diverse and intense development of this still growing field over the past twenty years...

Ultrahigh field systems and applications at 7 T and beyond: progress, pitfalls, and potential

..These findings show that even for complex object categories, the comparison of the outputs of different pools of selectively tuned neurons could be a general mechanism by which the human brain computes perceptual decisions...

..It is concluded that the striate cortex (area 17 of Brodmann) of the human brain can be delineated in vivo on T(1)-weighted images, potentially enabling detection of specific cortical boundaries within individual brains...

Analyzing for information, not activation, to exploit high-resolution fMRI

..Here we argue that these challenges can be met by shifting the focus of brain mapping and visualizing, not the activity patterns themselves, but the amount of information they convey about the experimental conditions...

Involvement of human left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in perceptual decision making is independent of response modality

..These data suggest that the involvement of left posterior DLPFC in perceptual decision making transcends both task and response specificity, thereby enabling a flexible link among sensory evidence, decision, and action...
